By contrast, many people make the mistake of approaching the landscape, assuming the negative so as not to look foolish. This can be a self-fulfilling prophecy, foreclosing on opportunities before you’ve even begun to explore them.Design Prototyping for Your LifeAn engineering prototype is best for solving tame problems with clear, repeatable solutions.Whereas an engineering prototype starts with a conclusion, a design prototype starts with a curiosity. It’s the empirical, embodied experience of going out and trying things.In life prototyping, you test d...
